What does a comprehensive eye exam include?

Every Sightbox member is entitled to a comprehensive eye exam as a part of their 12-month membership. This refers to a particular type of exam, as mandated by the American Optometric Association (AOA). The comprehensive eye exam includes standard dilation (including refraction), and a contact lens fitting (including follow-ups or training if needed).

The tests included in the comprehensive exam also screen for cataracts, macular degeneration, corneal ulcers, and diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and more.

Any services related to the purchase of glasses (such as fitting for frames) aren't included in this type of exam. Advanced retinal screening services such as Optomap or Optos aren't included in your membership, although you can choose to pay out-of-pocket, for a nominal additional fee.
